Escape

Liam's point of view:

In less than a while, I started feeling lost. Now it all makes sense. He was always picking fights with her, not because he hates her … It was quite the opposite, he used to fight with her because he loved her, and I was what stands between him and his mate.

I push Elijah away, throw the door open, then I shout

" Albeeeert …"

…..

He jumps right out of the room where he was staying "Chill Bro ... What's wrong?" He asked, and I was in no mood to answer.

My buddy, my friend, and my Beta was fooling me all the while I was eyeing him as a brother.

I felt the painful pain of betrayal, I felt like a bird with broking wings … I was in no mood to talk or explain, so I keep launching a punch after another. Not wanting or caring to stop, until I don't know who separated us.

I was too angry to tell who was next to me, he should be grateful that after all I still care a bit about him. Otherwise, no one would be able to pull me off him until I see his dead body with my eyes.

Lost in my anger, I was till Logan spoke "What's wrong with you both?" He wondered, and Albert was the one who answered him.

"There was nothing wrong with me until he tried to kill me."

"You better shut the f***k up, I don't want to hear you." I cut him off, I mean how dare he act so innocently while deep inside he knows what he's done.

"Care to tell what's wrong?" Asked Logan while trying to help the traitor up on his feet.

"Why don't you ask him? Or don't, he won't tell the truth." I said to Logan, and then he turns to Albert, waiting for an explanation from him.

"Don't look at me!" Exclaimed Albert, "I don't even know what he is talking about."

I felt anger through my veins because of his attitude of denying, so I started destroying each and everything that comes by my side. Elijah and his squad of vampires were enjoying the show from afar, while Sebil was nowhere to be seen.

Logan then asked me to gain "Stop messing around us and tell us what's wrong?"

"Well, do you know that the traitor we were looking for was all the time roaming around us, acting like an alley while waiting for our doom?" I told him.

He was even dumber than I was or was acting like refusing to believe what I'm talking about since he said again.

"I still don't see where this all is going, neither coming from." I started explaining to him like a grown-up explaining to a child, while Albert was quiet and looking like there was someone sucking the life out of him.

"He was the one helping vampires to attack us, he's the one to spread all our secrets to enemies. He was never one of us like he pretended to be."

The words I was saying were like fire into my heart, it was like was punishing me for everything I've ever done. No lying when they say that no one can be harmful as much as karma, and you will only get what you deserve.

I mean, in hand my mate is facing her death – On the other hand, the one who I used to love like a brother was scheming against me to me falling down.

Logan, on the other hand, who was helping Albert on his feet's let him fall. He kept on quiet for a while before he finally said it.

"There must be something wrong, I don't believe the whole thing out. I mean, why would he do a such a thing? It must be them – vampires, they must be trying to mess with our heads. Don't do that Liam don't give them the chance to do so." Explain Logan since he wasn't able to believe any of my words.

I looked then at the very quiet Albert, then I said. "Do you want to explain or shall I?"

This time he did not avoid answering, it was quite the opposite. "Yes! I did it … I sell you all to the enemy, and I'll tell you why. Because you're not even a bit different than them…" Before he finished some punches were laid on his face, this time it wasn't me. It was Logan, whose feeling now the pain of betrayal.

It wasn't quite known about Lycans betraying each other, especially those who belong in the same pack. Werewolf packs were known for their large numbers - in a normal werewolves' pack you may find between one hundred to five hundred pack members. It's not the same with us Lycans, we're too strong and too big that the number of a pack might not matter for us.

For us Lycans, a pack can only be created by only two members as long as there is trust between the pack members. That's why it's not usual to hear about a Lycan betraying his pack.

Our pack was formed by me, Logan and Albert. Though we've always suspected of having a traitor between us in the palace, but we never suspected that it may be one of us.

I kept on watching Logan launching punching on Albert's face, what caught my attention wasn't the violent act from Logan - since he's the quietest member among us. But it was the fact of Albert receiving the punches not fighting for himself, on the quiet opposite he was laughing and enjoying being beaten by us.

I ordered Logan to stop but he didn't, which caused me to use my Alpha voice on him.

"Enough I said …" I shout at him, and then he stopped.

I moved myself toward Albert's bloody body, then I said "You could've avoided this by telling me the truth, I wouldn't ever touch her if I knew she was your mate. Yet, you choose to hurt us your family – and for what ….." I was cut off by Logan who seemed a bit behind, "Who are you talking about?"

"Selena … She's Albert's mate … But I didn't know …" He cut me off again, "The hell is wrong with you and you … I can't believe any of you two."

At the same time, Albert starts laughing in a creepy way. "And I was the one thinking you're not stupid anymore. Do you think I am doing this for her? Well, I was – but not anymore. Open your eyes to see the bigger picture.'' He explains, at the same time Elijah spoke again.

" I would like to keep enjoying the show, in somehow I feel like watching 'the keeping up with the Kardashians' Live, but I got to remind you about Elisabeth and the blood moon … We're sort of running out of time."

I hate to admit that, but he was kinda right. I passed my hands through my hair while trying to figure out what to do with him, and since I couldn't I end up knocking him out.

As he lost consciousness, I moved him to his room. After so, I start searching for Wolfbane. As expected, I've found it in one of the vampires' rooms. I suggest to Elijah to spread it around Albert's room so that he won't be able to leave the room until we come back, only then I will know what to do with him.

As we made sure that he won't be able to leave, we started working on a new plan.

Elizabeth's point of view:

The old woman then comes over to me and says, "I already warned you, didn't I? But it seems that you're not the smart type of person"...

.......

It's been about a half-day since the old lady went out and let me tell you that it was the hardest half-day I spent in my entire life.

I don't know what she did, the only thing I do remember is that she whispered something into my ears before I started feeling pain all over my body.

As I was lost in my thoughts, the girl from before. The one wanting to sacrifice me and herself, crept in. Just when I was about to talk, she put one of her fingers on her mouth while mentioning to me to be quiet.

I did as I was told, and locked my thong inside my mouth. The next thing to happen was that she started whispering something, right I started feeling peace.

I was no longer in pain thanks to her, but I wasn't going to thank her since she's one of those who are capturing me over here.

She got way too close to me and started talking "I don't want to die too, I used to doubt what I was told letting no one to know. If I helped you to set yourself free, would you help me escape? Promise not to escape without me."…
